I just got back from New York City (visiting friends). Of all the cities I've been to in the world, it probably has the best street life I've experienced, especially when you get away from Park Avenue, 5th Avenue, and most of Broadway----had the best time on 8th, 9th and 10th Avenues, especially around Mid-Town. And it's ALL NIGHT--truly a city that never sleeps.

I think Boston punches above its weight in this equation. Depth of cultural heritage counts for much.

This is true. In fact, a place like Portland, ME, can have a better street life than cities 5, 10 times it's size within the same continent. I get what you're saying as a general rule though.

Relative to size especially, Guanajuato in Mexico would seem to be an exceptionally strong candidate.
